Mid Sussex Science Week (MSSW) is a way of inspiring primary school students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM). We hope to engage all students involved so as to ignite a spark for STEM that they can take with them into secondary school and beyond.
The annual event normally takes place in the summer term. A STEM Ambassador from a local STEM business is partnered with a local primary school to visit and set a theme (normally relating to their area of expertise or business). During the week the STEM ambassador visits the school to support the teachers and students in completing a project to showcase at the end of the week to a panel of judges.
STEM ambassadors often work in exciting places and therefore bring the fun, knowledge and expertise of a particular subject to each different school.
MSSW was founded by local councillor Pete Bradbury with support from local business owner Philip Todd. Philip Todd is Chairman of the organising committee.
